Running a 1 ghz TiBook (10.2.6) connected to a second display .... Now .. I
can move pretty much everything from one screen to the other .. The only
thing that sticks to the TiBooks screen is the DVD player window .. And that
sucks ..
Yes. It sucks. A lot. I'm sure it could be easily dragged from one desktop to the other easily in an earlier version of OS X, but it can't in 10.2.
There's a workaround. The DVD player window is attached to your "primary" desktop - not just the built in LCD. If you go to the Monitors section in System Prefs and drag the menu bar icon across to your external display, then the DVD player window will open on that screen when you launch it.
Of course, all your desktop stuff and your dock will follow it ... but you do get DVD playback on an external device.
The other course of action is to try using VLC (http://videolan.org/vlc/) for DVD playback which has quite a lot of options for which display you're using. I've found its DVD playback to be a bit unreliable at times, but it's usable enough in a pinch.
